Our Writing for Film course explores the fundamentals of screenwriting from first idea to final draft. You will learn how to approach story, develop characters and dialogue, and to structure your ideas into a fully-fledged screenplay. Using film clips and practical writing exercises, the course also includes advice about next steps from writing treatments to pitching your work. For film buffs serious about screen writing, this crash course is essential.
Like all of our writing courses, you’ll receive friendly, constructive feedback from your teacher throughout the course. The opportunity to discuss and share your ideas with a group of fellow writers can be an incredibly useful part of the creative process, helping you develop the style and scope of your writing.
Please note: fluency in English is essential for this course. If you have any special requirements please inform our Customer Services Team prior to your course start date so we can ensure we cater for these needs. You can call us on 0207 042 8833 or email info@city-academy.com.
Freddie was fantastic. I could not have asked more from a 4 week course. Inspirational, smart and a fantastic teacher.
Amazing tutor - very professional, thorough in his understanding of his subject, and presented the classes in an engaging and interactive way.
Tutor was extremely encouraging with his criticisms. Really enjoyed the content of the course and always left sessions feeling inspired.
The course was everything I was looking for - engaging, practical and extremely insightful.
